The circular test is satisfied if an index allows comparison of period 2 with period 0 via period 1, i.e., P₀₁ × P₁₂ = P₀₂. Which index commonly fails this test?
Explanation:
Laspeyres index uses fixed base-period weights, so P₀₁ × P₁₂ ≠ P₀₂ in general due to weight rigidity, failing the circular test; Fisher's index satisfies it under certain conditions.
Explanation:
Pre-testing a questionnaire with a small pilot group helps detect unclear wording, logical flaws, or response issues, ensuring the instrument is valid and reliable for the main survey.
